My family is currently faced with an overdue balance of $8000+ dollars on our electricity bill.
If I don't have it paid off before April 5th, it will be completely cut off.
We've been trying to get assistance for the past year but haven't gotten any luck yet.
Please help me in any way possible, even just sharing this around.

Roblox for some reason decided to take down one of my tracks, Neocatharsis, from the platform due to a "copyright violation", when I'm the one that uploaded it, created it, and own most if not all the rights to it.
This makes absolutely zero sense because if I'm correct, NONE of my tracks have content ID attached. They don't appear in the description of videos nor should they show up in copyright notices by content ID, as stated by the manager of the label. There's little to no restrictions on how people use my music, everyone is free to use my tracks in their games, videos, almost whatever it may be as long as I am given proper credit and it's not involved in any scheme that harms anyone in any way.
I tried getting to them to let them know it was an error and all I got was them repeating the issue I was trying to appeal, then after my 2nd reply they straight said they give up and cannot give anymore responses.
This is why I hate copyright sometimes. It's convoluted enough to cause a mess that shouldn't be happening as far as content usage goes.
Speaking of which, the form to manage global audio licensing is broken (won't stop saying ERROR - Missing required values) so I have to manually do it on each one of my tracks which is just.. ugh.

UPDATE 12/31/2021: I FINALLY GOT MY ACCOUNT BACK LFGGGGGGGGGGG
I recently fell victim to the "test my game" scam that steals your Discord account token. I'm asking that more people spread the word about the flaw that allowed this to happen on Discord's part.
The major security flaw is there is no verification email being sent to the original email to verify that I want it changed to the new one. The fact that the hacker already changed my password and was able to change the email with only said password as verification has costed me my account. 2 Factor Authentication was bypassed then removed during that process.
When I had just a tiny thread of access to my account, I noticed my email was changed to a Turkish burner email that self-destructs after a short period of time. Why is this possible when burner phone numbers are immediately out of the question?
There's already various threads on the subreddit, the support site, and Twitter bringing attention to this issue but barely received sufficient attention from Discord. Not many people know that it's this easy and the token stealing attacks have been around for years.
A simple verification email most likely would have been enough to prevent the hackers from causing this much damage since we would have the ability to cancel it. PLUS! A quick option to sign out of all sessions and reset the account token could've saved plenty of accounts as well! Instead we're greeted with emails saying it already happened along with a password change before it.
I would appreciate it if people who see this spread the word because this can affect EVERYONE who uses Discord. A flaw this critical should not have been in place for so long.
